haha..=p

It has been such a long time since i had this feeling…A feeling of contentment, a feeling of satisfaction…I went for a swim with my parents in RJCC…40 minutes of non-stop swimming..Not to prove anything.Just don feel like stopping down cos my ankle is not feeling "weird"..weird as in painful or stiff..It was one month ago that i had sprained my ankle and i had to restrain from all the sports activities since then..Honestly, I’m feeling far too happy with my "precious-ankle" progression…

A lot of things run thro my mind while i was swimming. How lucky i am to be able to move in between water molecules. Reminiscing the emotional turmoil that i went through one month ago, what I feel now is relief, happy and lucky to recover now.

I realized something. Ppl tend to think that their ownselves are the most pitiful people in the world when we face some problems. When i sprained my ankle, I really thought that i am the most unlucky person in this world. Everything that comes after that sort of augmented the impact. I grumbled a lot and i guess i made ppl around feel pissed too..hee…(maybe a little pissed, some of them). But i guess ppl around me know how to deal with sick patients, they don really feel pissed.=p Do u realise that when other ppl are facing problems and we are the one who console them, we will say that the condition that they’re facing not that bad compared to others..but when we’re the ones facing the problems, we won’t be thinking like that. We do not care how bad other ppl’s situations are but just put ourselves into the thought that we’re facing the doomest problem in the earth. We always forget to practice wat we preach. Things always become unclear when we’re the one in it. After the problem is solved or rather become milder, things are not that bad afterall. Maybe that’s what ppl say "tomorrow will be better"..Just be patient and wait for tomorrow to come. Of course, meanwhile u have to do all sorts of amendments to save the situation..Things will definitely become better..=)

Ankle recovered and lesson learned…

But, still…if we’re the one facing problems, it’s still difficult to not feel dejected or do what we know we should do…cos, we’re all human…=p

When i was using the internet, suddenly, i realised my muscles are twitching like mad…more specifically my deltoids(the muscle connecting my arm and shoulder)…i see fasciculations…so, i was like worried i might be having some neuronal disease.0.o..=p so i went on to find some informations about

A fasciculation (or "muscle twitch") is a small, local, involuntary muscle contraction (twitching) visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers. Fasciculations have a variety of causes, the majority of which are benign, but can also be due to disease of the motor neurons

//

Conditions

• The origin of most cases is at present unknown and has therefore been given the title benign fasciculation syndrome^[1].
• Werdnig-Hoffman disease
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (rare)
• Organophosphate poisoning
• Benzodiazepine withdrawal
• Magnesium deficiency (which can be caused by stress)
• Dehydration
• Fatigue

Medications

Other risk factors may include the use of anticholinergic drugs over long periods, in particular ethanolamines such as Benadryl, used as an antihistamine and sleep aid, and Dramamine for nausea and motion sickness. Persons with Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS) may experience paraesthesia shortly after taking such medication; hours later as it wears off (especially upon awaking), fasciculation episodes begin.

Stimulants can cause fasciculations directly. These include caffeine, pseudoephedrine (Sudafed®), and the asthma bronchodilators albuterol/salbutamol (e.g. Proventil®, Combivent®, Ventolin®). Medications used to treat attention deficit disorder often contain stimulants as well, and are common causes of benign fasciculations.

Treatment

Inadequate magnesium intake can cause fasciculations, especially after a magnesium loss due to severe diarrhea.
Over-exertion is another risk factor for magnesium loss. As much as 80%
of the population does not get the recommended daily amount of
magnesium; this may be a common cause. Treatment is with supplements or
increased intake of foods rich in magnesium, especially almonds &
other nuts, and bananas. Ironically, magnesium supplements may result
in diarrhea and more magnesium loss, so dosage and timing (i.e. with meals) are important.

Fasciculation also often occurs during a rest period after sustained
stress, such as that brought on by unconsciously tense muscles.
Reducing stress and anxiety is therefore another useful treatment.

moral of the story…CNS is interesting but it’s driving me crazy and suspicious too..=)
